Stronger Together: When Support Looks Different Than Expected
Manage episode 488498389 series 3555509
In this heartfelt episode, Katie opens up about something rarely discussed in strength and wellness spaces: the value of welcoming men into the conversation around perimenopause, menopause, and muscle-building.
Sharing her personal journey—including what it was like to build muscle with a male coach after years of being let down by women—Katie challenges the idea that support must come from someone who looks like you to be meaningful.
This episode dives into:
💬 Why the basics of muscle-building still work—especially in perimenopause
💬 The emotional weight of feeling unsupported by other women
💬 Why letting men in doesn’t mean you’ve turned your back on your sisters
💬 What real support looks like—no matter where it comes from
It’s raw, real, and rooted in one message:
Strength has no gender—and healing often comes from unexpected places.
Whether you’re in the gym, in the thick of hormone changes, or just needing a reminder that you don’t have to do it alone—this one’s for you.
